I've been using gelatin finnings to help clear my wine for quite some time and started using it for beer and I'm quite happy with the result. The beer clears much faster and I think has a nicer look to the finished product.. Anyways my question is can I use regular food grade gelatin or do I have to buy brewers gelatin? The reason I ask is that the home brew store charges and arm and a leg for a tiny container and the grocery store does not... I'm really not convinced there is a difference.

There is no difference. Just make sure not to pick up wild cherry flavored gelatin.

+1 on the Knox brand unflavoured. I missed using my irish moss last year on my IPA and the gelatine saved my ass and produced a nice clear beer. I definitely noticed a difference in the trub though, so when siphoning make sure to avoid sucking up any.
